Brighton House Supports Living Wage

In October 2011 Councillor Bill Randall formed the Brighton and Hove Living Wage Commission, chaired by Julia Chanteray, the President of the Brighton and Hove Chamber of Commerce.

The Commission met for six months, examining how paying the Living Wage could potentially affect local businesses and employees, and how it might alleviate poverty in the city.

In February 2012, the Chamber of Commerce held a Big Debate to enable the city’s businesses to voice their views directly and, when it came to the vote, the Living Wage received an overwhelming business endorsement.

In April 2012, the city’s Living Wage Commission announced that a business-led, two-year campaign for a Living Wage would be spearheaded by the Chamber of Commerce, with the goal of making Brighton and Hove a great example of how the Living Wage can become the normal and accepted minimum level of payment for all employers in the city.

Brighton House is proud to be a signatory to the Brighton & Hove Living Wage initiative as we believe that all our employees should be paid a fair wage for their hard work. At present, Brighton House is the only hotel or guest house business in Brighton that has signed-up to this important campaign.
